Never thought I'd hear myself saying this, but I think BC needs to step aside on this matter.
Sounds to me like Trudeau thinks Trump is going to walk away from NAFTA.
And if that happens, Canada will be left scrambling for new trade partners. Looks like Trudeau is pushing for this in an attempt to get ahead of the 8-ball before Trump pulls the plug.
He's pushing to try to gain new revenue streams into Canada before the shoe drops.
Smart move, in my opinion.
Canada needs to cut the ties that bind us to such dependency on US trade agreements... that country is too damn unstable these days to be trusted with any kind of economic partnership.
We need to protect the economy of our own country first and foremost.
